“…Apart from the standard surgical complications, some specific complications can occur: instability of the first ray; reduced thumb length; and tendinitis of the flexor radials carpi or abductor pollicis longus (Chan et al, 2014). A case/ control study recommended simple trapeziectomy because it has fewer complications and equal outcomes (Gangopadhyay et al, 2012;Raven et al, 2007).…”

“…Trapeziectomy with or without soft tissue reconstruction remains the most commonly used procedure for trapeziometacarpal arthritis with good long-term follow-up (Gangopadhyay et al, 2012;Raven et al, 2007;Sai et al, 2004). Apart from the standard surgical complications, some specific complications can occur: instability of the first ray; reduced thumb length; and tendinitis of the flexor radials carpi or abductor pollicis longus (Chan et al, 2014).

We present a retrospective study of 107 cases of thumb carpometacarpl joint arthrodesis. The aim of our study was to analyse our population and to compare the outcomes of patients who obtained bone union with the patients who did not. There were no statistical differences in most of the clinical outcomes (DASH score, visual analogue scale, Kapandji test, grip, and key pinch) between the two groups of patients; there were fewer cases of scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthritis in the group that did not obtain bone union. We conclude that the bone union is not necessary for a good outcome. Level IV of evidence.

The purpose of this update is to report on a variety of topics related to trapeziometacarpal arthritis that have been recently investigated. The keyword trapeziometacarpal arthritis was utilized to query the PubMed database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. From the resulting list, papers published from the beginning of April 2014 through the beginning of April 2017 were reviewed. The forty-five studies identified are reviewed here and referenced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
